Abstract
The results of optical studies of Ca- and Mg-substituted garnets doped with are reported. Multiple sites of ions are revealed at liquid-helium temperature by laser excitation and emission spectra and analysis of decay kinetics. Use of different charge-compensating ions allows one to obtain information on the nature of some sites occupied by the ions. A large Stokes shift between excitation and luminescence spectra of the E state of ions is explained by interaction with low-energy lattice excitations. On the other hand, the higher-energy phonons are found to be responsible for nonradiative decay of the luminescence at higher temperatures. Charge-transfer states are present in the crystals examined.
